Chapter 614

“That day, the floodwaters rose, submerging the Buddha’s knees, and the Fire Fire Qilin emerged once more, sweeping away Nie Nie Renwang and Brother Duan Shuai.”

“From then on, both the Fire Scale Sword and Brother Duan Shuai himself were trapped in Lingyun Cave.”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, a wave of exclamations erupted in the hall.

No one had expected that the famous Fire Scale Sword was originally just an ordinary longsword.

It only became a world-renowned divine weapon because it severely wounded the Fire Fire Qilin and fused with one of its scales.

At the same time, following the four great divine beast families, the Demon Sword remnants, the Bu divine clan, and the Imperial Liu family, the eighth Great Han family had appeared.

And compared to other families, the Brother Duan family was clearly more inspiring—a complete rise of a small figure!

Hearing the subsequent strange tale, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.

The Fire Fire Qilin was truly worthy of being a divine beast focused on increasing internal energy and attack power.

The Nie family ancestor, Nie Ying, fused with the Fire Fire Qilin bloodline and broke through two major stages in a row.

And Brother Duan Brother Duan Zhengxian’s cultivation could also advance by leaps and bounds just by practicing with the Fire Scale Sword fused with the Fire Fire Qilin scale.

Who in the Jianghu wouldn't be jealous of such magical effects?

If not for those terrifying side effects, the Fire Fire Qilin’s appeal would definitely exceed that of the Phoenix and the Divine Turtle.

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it fervently:

“To think the Brother Duan family is also one of the nine great families; this family truly produces experts generation after generation.”

“The Fire Fire Qilin is worthy of being one of the four great divine beasts, directly creating two top-tier families.”

“This Fire Fire Qilin is truly a treasure from head to toe. If only there were a way to eliminate its violent energy.”

“‘Water floods the Buddha’s knees, fire burns Lingyun Cave’—this famous saying has been circulating in the Jianghu; I didn't expect it to originate from this.”

“I advise everyone not to set their sights on the Fire Fire Qilin. Martial Saint powerhouses like Brother Duan Brother Duan Zhengxian and Nie Ying ended up in such miserable states; it goes without saying for ordinary people.”

“Now that Brother Duan Shuai and the Fire Scale Sword are both trapped in Lingyun Cave, I wonder if this sword will ever see the light of day again.”

“Eight of the nine great Great Han families have already appeared. I wonder what the origin of this last family is?”

……

The eighth private room in the South District.

Nie Feng showed a hint of excitement, with a faint blood-red tint in his eyes.

He had witnessed the battle between the Southern Unicorn Sword Head, Brother Duan Shuai, and his father with his own eyes.

He had also seen the scene of the flood submerging the Buddha’s knees with his own eyes.

Now that his father and Brother Duan Shuai were both trapped in Lingyun Cave, the risk increased with every passing day.

If Bu Bu Jingyun’s ultimate goal was to deal with the Palace Master of the Search God Palace.

Then his ultimate goal was to break into Lingyun Cave and rescue his father.

“Little Brother Bu, if I remember correctly, Brother Duan Shuai’s son, Brother Duan Lang, is in the World Association, right?”

The Face Envoy suddenly spoke up.

He had previously gone to the World Association to observe the sect competition and had a three-point impression of this arrogant youth, Brother Duan Lang.

Bu Bu Jingyun nodded and said: “Yes, but I don’t have much interaction with him. Junior Brother Feng has a pretty good relationship with him.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people in the room couldn't help but look toward Nie Feng.

Nie Feng said: “Brother Duan Lang is indeed my good friend. Back during the sect competition, his martial arts were not below mine, but Xiong Ba ultimately chose me as his disciple.”

“Interesting. No wonder that Brother Duan Lang looks so unconvinced.”

The Face Envoy said with a smile, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes.

Since this Brother Duan Lang was a descendant of the Brother Duan family, one of the nine great families, he believed his potential must be astonishing.

Now that the world was in chaos, if the Demon Heart Palace wanted to grow, it really needed the addition of up-and-coming stars like Brother Duan Lang.

At this moment, he had developed the intention to recruit Brother Duan Lang.

……

The sixth private room in the South District.

Luo Xian frowned slightly.

This time when she came out of the mountains, Di Di Shitian specifically instructed her to inquire about the whereabouts of seven divine weapons.

This Fire Scale Sword was one of them.

“The Sect Master is determined to obtain the Fire Scale Sword.”

“Since this sword is in Lingyun Cave, I have no choice but to go and break into Lingyun Cave.”

Luo Xian muttered to herself and secretly noted this matter down.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen gently shook his folding fan and, without waiting for the crowd’s discussion to end, continued:

“Next, I will comment on the next divine weapon on the list.”

“Divine Weapon Ranking 8th place: Hero Sword.”

“Regarding this divine weapon, I believe all you fellow Jianghu travelers are no strangers to it.”

“This sword was forged by the Great Sword Master with his life’s effort and passed down to the person destined to face the calamity in later generations, hence it has the characteristic of ‘Ten Thousand Martial Arts, One Heart’.”

“Because I have already commented on it many times before, I will not describe it too much here.”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, there was another uproar in the hall.

A divine weapon destined to face calamity like the Hero Sword only ranked 8th on the Divine Weapon Ranking?

This clearly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

For a time, everyone couldn't help but gaze at the White Jade Platform with burning eyes, looking forward to the divine weapons that followed.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen didn't deliberately keep them in suspense; he scanned the audience and said directly:

“Next, I will comment on the next divine weapon on the list.”

“Divine Weapon Ranking 7th place: Heavenly Sin.”

“Regarding this divine weapon, I believe no one among you fellow Jianghu travelers knows of it.”

“This divine weapon is the town-guarding treasure of the Iron Gate, a hidden forging sect overseas in the Great Han Jianghu.”

“Heavenly Sin is neither a blade nor a sword, but a ‘fierce beast’ among weapons. Once Heavenly Sin is unleashed, it must take a life before returning!”

“It has three forms: the form of a blade and sword, the form of a whip, and the form of a fierce beast; its power is peerless.”

“As everyone knows, a famous sword follows its master. Even a peerless-grade divine weapon can hardly exert its power if it falls into the hands of an ordinary person.”

“But Heavenly Sin is different. To some extent, it already possesses intelligence. Once the fierce beast form is activated, even if the master has no strength, it can still rival a Half-Saint powerhouse.”

“In other words, no matter who it is, as long as they can control Heavenly Sin, they can rival experts above the Half-Saint realm.”

“But Heavenly Sin also has a fatal flaw: it needs to be driven by the holder’s internal energy.”

“Once the holder’s internal energy is insufficient, the fierce beast Heavenly Sin will backfire on its master and injure them!”

“Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it is tentatively ranked 7th on the Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking.”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, the hall began to discuss it fervently again.

Iron Gate!

The Great Han Jianghu heroes looked at each other in dismay; no one had ever heard of this name.

Clearly, this was another hidden sect.

Even though the Great Han Jianghu had already been exposed to so much, there were still unknown forces.

Hearing Su Chen’s description of this ‘Heavenly Sin’, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.

They had never heard of such a strange divine weapon that could actually transform into a fierce beast form.

Clearly, this was a fierce weapon; although its power was peerless, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could control.

With other divine weapons, if you didn't use them well, you might just fail to exert their power; if you didn't use Heavenly Sin well, it could cost you your life.

Therefore, although everyone was discussing it, not many people were truly interested in this divine weapon.

More people were looking toward the White Jade Platform, waiting for the next divine weapon to be revealed.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen took a sip of clear tea and, facing the curious gazes of the crowd, continued:

“Next, I will comment on the next divine weapon on the list.”
